I have had a hard time getting my 2200 working under FreeBSD. It works great under Linux w/ CUPS and Gimp-Print. It even auto detected the printer. I love FreeBSD as a server platform, but I have had a tough time setting it up as a desktop. If anybody can recommend a good port for my Epson. I had CUPS working after a lot of fuss, but I did not like the print quality. I installed Gimp-Print, but I could not see the filters under CUPS, I tried pips for the 2200, and it showed up in CUPS, but did not work. Finally I decided to ditch CUPS and use APSfilter, but It did not have the right driver for my 2200. Installing APSfilter broke my CUPS installation, and re-installing CUPS did not fix the problem. Like I said, this has been a tough ride. (but I'm willing to stick it out because I love FreeBSD security). Thanks Chris Maness
